Yes of course.

But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?

What is a method in THAT?

Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?

I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.

How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

Popular scifi, written to appeal to the majority, for tv and movies, is actually only one special kind of scifi. And the majority isn’t known for its depth or taste.

I’m not saying that there aren’t exceptions, but ya, that’s how it is.
